In that case, the gold should be redistributed in some way to the characters. I wouldn't have put it there if I thought it would disappear.
Hence why I said deactivated rather than outright removed. Can't put more in, can't take it out, but it'll remain there for when the system is fleshed out further. Honestly, I'd like to see it tied somehow to making estates better/building IC structures there. Along with monuments/statues.
